HOME & OFFICE PHASE TWO | Vlog

[@melsmithmel]

I love the hint towards a nursery...you're both going to be fantastic parents one day. The longer the better please Ali.. (Your Vlogs.)

[@beautyandthebudget3642]

The brackets made me laugh 😉

[@linvarrow]

Not only are you talented but you are so calm and low key...hard to ruffle your feathers....not much drama here ! I like that about you...

[@MrsErica]

You are just the sweetest with the biggest heart! Keep up the great work!

[@cherisemoss7854]

Put your camera bag in one of the small trunks, and keep it near your desk. You can easily get in and out of... and just keep the lid close when not in use.

[@AliGordon]

Sadly it doesn't fit :(

[@redisanattitude6537]

YAAAAAS, love the longer vlogs :D!!!!!! What a gorgeous family you have. Lumi's sassy interrupting meowing cracks me up every time.

[@b.walker5955]

You and Lumi are so in sync..."a dash of milk" (MEOW= Me too!) ..."if we have a lil' one" (meow, MEOW=Hello you have a lil' one!) She is such a daddies girl! ~ That sectional sofa in your office has to be a sleeper. Your bud that slept off NYE last year, is counting on you to have a REAL sleeper. : ) Oh, one more thing, I am trust worthy, totally into jerkins, the entire jar in one sitting kind of trust worthy.

[@SallyAlexandriaAlexParakeets]

We could listen to you speak all day, Mr. Ali Millen Gordon & Mrs. Lydia Millen Gordon. You two are perfect together. You both have a very pleasant voice & a lovely English accent. Have a nice summer in the English countryside.

[@anacastrillon4578]

43 mins?? HELL YEAH!!! 🙌🏼 👏🏼 🙌🏼

[@mattsblog]

Great vlog best one yet, keep up the good work

[@fergas4142]

The storage room should be your office and your closet you should make it more functional, putting up proper space for all your shoes, your camera equipment, etc

[@amybookaholic]

You deserve more subscribers Hi from #Algeria

[@chelsmartin2393]

You two are such the cat parents when Lumi sneezed you two dropped everything to her!! So cute!!💞

[@AliGordon]

hahah we know who rules the house.

[@jasonr4994]

Good job on the longer vlog! Wish there was more to be updated on. Can’t wait for the next one. Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long.

[@AliGordon]

It's all very slow with current restriction however trying to book in dates with trades atm :)

[@cgibbseaster]

I would put in a corner desk like an L shape and still put your monitor in the same direction and have more space and storage. Then put the sitting area back where it was but different furniture of course. Something to think about.

[@taybee42681]

I liked your office/ dressing room the way it was. I thought your office was moving downstairs into the lounge.

[@AliGordon]

That room will probably become a personal office / reading room / library room / whisky room ect.. dividing personal and business under the same roof is very important to cut a clean line between the two.

[@rattylol]

I think you can get a screen covering that deflects the light. We had them in work a few years ago, a sort of fine black mesh.

[@MediaProDana]

rattylol yes, and try adding the Flux app

[@anakalianaac9290]

Not complaining about the length of this fab video... it was a real treat, Ali. Thanks so much. Can’t wait to see the finished redo of your office/dressing room... the lower level outdoor space, and the garden. Really really enjoyed your video... it was soothing in it’s flow... really organic. 🌟

[@lotuspetal5143]

Office renovation is m great! Lumi is such a little character ❤️

[@MrTravis]

I really liked your dressing room, don't change it! it was so warm and cozy.

[@julijajd]

when you want to sneeze but can't you should look at the bright light. works for me every time!

[@AliGordon]

100% going to try this hahaha

[@lisadavies9967]

Ali no try on for the boots? would be good to see how you would style them up x

[@AliGordon]

Soon I will shoot some content for my channels :)

[@purplestax4]

That plant is definitely a Salvia, it’s a beautiful plant ☘️

[@AliGordon]

thanks

[@alikovacs789]

Ali thanks so much for your vlog

[@dianereyes5389]

You are very polite and gentleman

[@be_you2023]

Honestly, I don’t mind when you post, I look forward to when you do post. I’d rather you take your time and make your videos to a standard which you’re happy with, rather than post for the sake of posting. No masterpiece is done in a day.

[@ireneclark1817]

Have you considered using 2 sturdy screens with window box style storage on them. One each side of your desk might be quite zen atmosphere. Obviously black lacquer screens Ali.

[@geyj1]

Why don't you share the office downstairs?! It'll give you more space in your walk-in wardrobe. Thank you so much for the vlog.

[@AliGordon]

It's a great suggestion, but because I want to have my office & wardrobe space to work in and having everything at my finger tips is really convenient & time smart way to work for productivity.

[@thebjm1967]

Ahhhhh!!!! That would be a gorgeous room for a nursery!!!!! Another lovely video! Sending love and good vibes from the USA 🥰🥰

[@1HHeather]

Love your office Ali both before and after. Check out Fendi's furniture. There are some pieces there that would work with your style!

[@AliGordon]

Sounds expensive hahaha but will look... or should I not even tempt myself

[@Nashema1]

Instead of having a bookshelf you can have a camera station or cubbard where you disllay your camera equipment and store your bag. Especially since you value it so much and learning about the tech. The bookshelves can be put downstairs in the study room or whatever that room is called where you used to have the dinning table.

[@MrNijjarKeepItReal]

I love Gurkens and totally do not understand why people dont like them. Great video Ali it's fun watching a longer 1 so we can see more of what you do the variety etc... cutest couple ever!!!

[@monicaramos3781]

You and that Hoover! 😂😂 I would have done the same!

[@karencurtis2697]

Been a great one , Lumi is well on form , hello popit x I love the way you guys are so genuine with each other and full on giggle at each other ... get in the cupboard was my favourite part today the happiness of being together always shines . Stay safe stay well xxx Take care everyone 😉

[@EugeLohaks]

The good things about Salvia is that attracts butterflies. So is kind of nice, but maybe for other corner if you want to have lavender in that place. Also... is easy to maintain ;)

[@LizDee777]

You guys are just so much fun to watch!!!🙌🏽🥰 wish you both all the best!!! ☺️💚

[@loverofallanimals]

When the lavender is finished flowering give it a good trim and this will encourage a bushier growth and more flowers next year!

[@AliGordon]

you're a star I will work those Lavenders :)

[@OWB-ml2ux]

Ali Gordon a little fact about the salvias that people were identifying for you, they have square stems!! So now you can be knowledgeable when you’re in other peoples gardens too. 🥰 Feel the stems, if they’re square exclaim loudly that you are familiar with salvias!! 😂😘😉

[@AliGordon]

@@OWB-ml2ux nice thanks

[@leonoregatti5143]

it's so nice to watch you Ali you are very relaxing

[@mars_1214]

Keep the extra long vlogs comingggg!!!!

[@itsonlyme7339]

Ali, you NEED a Hotel Chocolate Velvetiser. No doubt. You could even use your own hot chocolate in it but you’ll never use that small whisk thing again. 🙂

[@francybj87]

I have loved a long vlog

[@Tiyashouse]

I preferred the desk where it was before, think about your view, I think your view was better before?

[@tarlierussell1769]

Loved the long vlog Ali. Please do more of these. 👏🏼 back garden is looking amazing

[@DB-hz6vr]

Definitely salvia- your plant.

[@uberstevo]

I LOVE gherkins...!!!! Fantastic VLOG Ali - loved all the updates!!! ♥️

[@AliGordon]

my guy

[@reneeinla2.0]

That’s definitely salvia in front of the house. Emphasis on the first syllable.

[@loverofallanimals]

Hi, just to confirm that beautiful plant is a Salvia and is related to the sage family. Sorry if someone has already mentioned this.

[@rattylol]

Make one of the drawers your camera bag drawer

[@melodyholt1922]

Really enjoyed your long vlog. Keep 'em coming!

[@LifeWithTheCastillos]

Cannot wait for the new room! Just in case you didn't think of it lol, you can get a rolly chair with rubber wheels so it doesn't ruin the floor, or get any chair and change the wheels to rubber ones. We done it at ours ☺️ Do agree with Lyd's though, think a corner sofa would be good

[@AliGordon]

great shout

[@laurabeschow3231]

Love the new living room but the lamp in the middle looks like a disco ball hahah

[@HannahBMann]

Ali, what about a nice leather luggage rack to place your camera bag on?

[@snoopybluejeans]

Best hot chocolate is made with milk. Steamed milk is even better. Try it.

[@janwittman595]

Plant is definitely Salvia! Is that enough verifications for you??? Hahaha😁

[@ExxtraCelestial]

I’m late to the party, but does anyone know where Ali’s office chair is from? I love it!

[@dianewalker9154]

More long vlogs sir! Love them. And Lumi, the love!!!!

[@patriciacarroll-scott33]

Enjoyed the longer vlog. Love the bit of humor in this vlog too.

[@alisont1097]

Salvia is a darker purple /red😊. We need a link for the crisps 😋. We trained our cat to climb on our shoulder and be carried around by bending down to his level and he climbed on.... I bet Lumi would do it 🐆! Have you seen Amen shoes, they have the same ethos 😊. Xx. 🇬🇧

[@nicst3373]

The position of the desk now feels more anchored and commanding the space. Balances the room more with the symmetry of the windows. And Yes a desk with more weight will work better. Yep the loose furniture in the corner is cool... maybe instead of a side table you may want to look at a drinks cart that doesn’t look like a cart Lydia is right. You are not a caterpillar, so less shoes please ;)

[@raidmahdjour1238]

Hi Ali , nice to see you again have a great day

[@cgibbseaster]

I Absolutely love your videos but I was wondering if there was a way to up the volume? Your such a soft spoken person that at times it's a little hard to hear you. Also,Love when you do videos together ❤

[@AliGordon]

I'm terrible with my sound sorry I need to remember when editing to align it all better.

[@beautyandthebudget3642]

@@AliGordon you are definitely not terrible with sound and I think sounds seems fine 😁

[@faysmith7274]

Salvia of the sage family. They come in all sorts of colours

[@lynnpetti3817]

American style hot chocolate use 100% whole milk. At least mine does. ♥️ chocolate anything. Enjoy you vids.

[@janetkensett1503]

Lovely vlog. I was splitting my sides during the show and tell of your office, and then again later on. Hilarious. Can't wait to see what the office patio looks like. The wooded area of your garden is mysterious and secret. I just adore Lumi's cries, she sounds like a baby, love her.

[@Sarah1212mm]

Damn i want some of those chips/crisps. 😉. you do the best vlogs Ali! 😀👏🏻

[@AliGordon]

thank youuu

[@MissDLinx]

“Any hoot” lol... a few friends and I say “Any snootch”. What a “snootch” is we’re not sure, but it makes us laugh when we say it.

[@charlescoffey695]

Omg all those shoes!!!!

[@roospooscreate]

Why did I see your name as Oli London ? So strange . Blinked again and it said Ali Gordon . Now P*ssing myself with laughter . 😂😂

[@AliGordon]

My brothers name

[@roospooscreate]

Ali Gordon wow my psychic powers on fire in 2020 🥴😜

[@tracydavis9105]

Love the video!😃😃😃

[@Musictuberadio]

Keep these long videos comiing, great video Ali

[@sarahelizabeth981]

missed u ali xx sending all my love to u and lydia keep safe xxx

[@Kolious_Thrace]

40 minutes video...f*ck yeah!!!😂😂 36:08 That must be Aphrodite! Something that most of the people don’t know is the fact that the Roman Gods are Greek! Yes! The Romans adopted the religion of Ancient Greeks and so took the Gods and changed their names! Zeus became Jupiter Hera became Juno Poseidon became Neptune Cronus became Saturn Aphrodite became Venus Hades became Pluto Hephaestus became Vulcan Demeter became Ceres Athena became Minerva Artemis became Diana Ares became Mars Hermes became Mercury Dionysus became Bacchus (although Bacchus Βάκχος is also a Greek name) Persephone became Proserpine Eros became Cupid Gaia became Terra Hypnos became Somnus Rhea became Ops Nike became Victoria Eos became Aurora Selene became Luna Helios became Sol Everyone knows the Roman version but actually all of the Roman mythology delivered from the Ancient Greek mythology!

[@tarahgilliam3731]

I like that you call your chips crisp we call them chips in the US

[@lisaomay]

Definitely purple salvia

[@mic7442]

I love you both. Ali you are such a worm person, lucky Lydia and Lumi. My opinion is that, you deserve a proper office in another room. Keep be so nice and hard-working, every women envy Lydia :)

[@reneecharles9178]

When the Americans took over GUCCI we always sold shoe accessories💁🏽💁🏽from polish to shoe horns to shoe stretchers we did it all💁🏽💁🏽Never seen purple sage it looks interesting😃but I'm sure it has health properties👍🏾French lavender usually have two flappy ears, well that's what I call them, I prefer the English lavender, but apparently the French is nice, I beg to differ💁🏽💁🏽love the hot chocolate idea🙌🏾🙌🏾, but you didn't froth the milk, or even sprinkle grains of coffee💁🏽love the cheese snack👏🏾I love cheese, and I love gherkin, pickles in general😜

[@victoriatanner-tremaine928]

For the oak sprig you could try glycerin diluted in water. Google for the ratio of glycerin to water.

[@ilinkacenic2360]

Where did you get your big office mirror from..love it X

[@angieagentlesoul]

maybe a small corner sofa with chaise lounge

[@valentinekwach5951]

Yaaas to the long Vlog Ali😊

[@RavenStorm1031]

17:00 to 17:40 i cackled hard ali omg!!!

[@samanthapage4010]

Is a Salvia as I commented last week!

[@AliGordon]

THANK YOUUU

[@shefaliyadav3210]

Ali I love your long vlogs they are super fun to watch. I enjoy every bit of it . love from India.

[@joleenjenkins]

I love Lumi

[@SaiBaba_Ki_Beti_Juhi]

Plz keep doing more vlogs

[@nickiwilson5242]

More vlogs 👍 especially feat. Lumi

[@sfletcher100]

I liked your office the way it was. Sadly the comfy seating area now looks squashed in the corner, not inviting and the light will just stream onto the computer screen. I don't understand what was wrong with the layout you had. I think it was better sitting at the computer facing the door too, easier to see what's coming at you ;-)

[@AliGordon]

I explained it in the video ...

[@beautyandthebudget3642]

There have been multiple vudeos where the reasons were explained and its to be more funtional and practical- which when he explained it all made sense!

[@xxemzybeexx]

Could you get a trunk adapted with inserts for you camera stuff 🙂

[@onajas]

IDK about yall but I don't drink the hot water from the tap since I don't think it's clean from all the metals and stuff from the heater, Or is it just me?

[@AliGordon]

probably advised to use a filter in the fridge however it is classified as safe to drink here in the UK

[@dianewalker9154]

That is definitely Salvia.

[@threepets3]

Trust the app. That definitely looks like salvia!

[@OtterHillDesigns]

Wondering if that mystery plant is catnip. Does Lumi take to it? She's such a lovely kitty and seems to respond upon prompt!

[@NicoleDufourDuRocher]

To make anything with woody stems last longer, you crush the end (with a hammer) and put it in hot (not boiling) water. If it is thicker you can drill a hole upwards, like with a real Christmas tree. Also, with your kitchen floors if they are stone you can have someone in to repolish them. Why have 2 guest rooms if your office/closet is a small dual purpose space, why not make a guest room your office and expand your closet? Seems to me (me being a NYC Interior Designer) like an inefficient use of space.

[@sarahelizabeth981]

your such a sweetheart to lol xx

[@charlottecopping235]

Where is the light above the stairs from!

[@sweetly_broken_4_him567]

Ali the other day my housemates and I were hoping to have a barbeque I was excited I cleaned the table then came back downstairs very happy only to be told you will have to have it indoors we haven't any cole so my staff didn't buy coal I was so disappointed so I'm still hoping to have one
